Re: 1st Round Final Prediction

Modifying this as follows: Vikings trade 11 and 23 plus their 2025 1st rounder to the Cardinals for #4 where they will take JJ McCarthy. I'm still predicting the first three picks this year will be Williams to the Bears at #1, Maye to the Commanders at #2, and Daniels to the Patriots at #3. I agree...

Re: Justin Jefferson

I am really puzzled how people can conclude anything from what JJ posted on his IG. When I read what he wrote I see him saying contracts other receivers are signing have set the bar for where his future deal will be and not necessarily that the Vikings have jumped over that bar yet. I also find it ...

Re: Justin Jefferson

Can you help me out with his instagram? Sure can. 3 days ago he posted a bunch of pictures with the caption “The money speakin for itself, I call it a fortune-tell.” Many fans and writers have a theory he is already signed but the Vikings are waiting to announce it. Or did you want a link to his IG...

Re: 1st Round Final Prediction

If we do what I'm dreading I will bash it a couple times then resign myself to it. The five stages of grief. Denial. I'm not even allowing myself that one. Anger yep I'll do that, depression I've already been doing that, Bargaining I've kind of been doing that as in I can live with trading up for M...

Re: 1st Round Final Prediction

I'll go with Penix at 11 and Powers-Johnson at 23. Modifying this as follows: Vikings trade 11 and 23 plus their 2025 1st rounder to the Cardinals for #4 where they will take JJ McCarthy.

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

On what basis is he deciding what he wants, though? Put another way, KAM passed on Kyle Hamilton and Jordan Davis in his first draft as GM of the Vikings. He evaluated the talent available to him at pick 12(?) that year wasn't more valuable than trading back to the end of the 1st round and swapping...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I want him to be able to put significant resources into getting one of the QBs he wants and plugging them into an offense he has already put together himself. I'd really like to see what KOC can do when he is actually able to get the pieces in place that he wants. On what basis is he deciding what ...

Re: Q

So if KOC is really doing what he says he's doing (which I have no doubt he is), then he also must know how difficult it is to find a single prospect with any certainty. Not to say he can't find a player who has more potential than another player, but so much at the QB position comes down not just ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

No question that Penix is the most Marino like of the presumed top 6 QBs. Good call VikingLord. What I was getting at is a guy that can come in play year one like a top level pro as Marino did. For more recent examples CJ Stroud, Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy? I think he was taken with literally the las...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

We need the next Marino an instant star who could throw any pass in the book and had a lighting quick release. Does that exists within this group of 6? I have no idea but it's highly unlikely. I don't know if he's an instant star but Penix fits that description in terms of ability to throw any pass...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Judging from what I hear Quinyon Mitchell is my preferred CB with DeJean just slightly behind followed by Arnold Mitchell has everything you want in a CB physically and played well in college. If his level of college competition were higher he'd be a top 10 lock. I wouldn't be upset if the Vikings ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I typically don't criticize posts (or try not to), and I wasn't criticizing yours. We all have opinions and I'm fine with that. Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying that. I just don't see what KAM could have done in the last two years to realistically address the situation. Kirk was firm on two more ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I don't like Arnold as much as several other players available at 11. I'm guessing he wouldn't even be BPA at 23. I'm confident Nix and Penix won't be available at 23. It's possible I just don't think it will happen. So I stand by my Nix or Penix or McCarthy or Maye at 11 and BPA position of need a...
